The Story Behind Prince of Peace
Akiane began describing vivid spiritual visions as a young child, despite growing up in a non-religious home with no biblical teaching or church background.
From an early age, she spoke about God, heaven, and the face of Jesus she believed she had seen.
For more than a year, she searched for a model who matched that face. Then one day, a carpenter unexpectedly appeared at her family’s door. Akiane immediately recognized him as the person she had been waiting for.
Working from that encounter, she painted Prince of Peace in oil at age 8. The result was a portrait that would go on to reach millions around the world.
